In an X Spaces event, Elon Musk revealed the first human patient implanted with a brain chip from Neuralink has made a “full recovery” and “can control the mouse around the screen just by thinking.”

“Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of. The patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking,” Musk told X users in Spaces on Monday night.

I asked Elon Musk about the progress of Neuralink's first human patient and the answer was pretty incredible.

Musk said Neuralink is currently focusing on maximizing the number of mouse clicks by the patient.  Neuralink implanted the first brain chip into a human in January, following approval for human trials in September. The potentially life-transforming technology could help patients with quadriplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The brain chip “grants people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone,” the company wrote in September.
